    Default Finding my great uncle's death certificate

    My great uncle was James Duggan born to parents Charles and Julia Duggan (nee McCarthy) in Croydon Surrey England. I have located a birth certificate for him, that being November 1859. I believe I may have some census info for him but dates don't correspond very well. I would love to know if he left England and migrated as his younger brother Jeremiah did. Jeremiah left England and migrated to Australia in 1884. no birth certifcate has ever been located for Jeremiah. I can't believe how hard it is to find info on this family. As far as finding anything about Charles and Julia, I think I give up. Any one able to assist, I would be ever so grateful.

    The birth certificate only has Charles Duggan and Julia Duggan (formerly McCarthy) as parents, no other details.
